UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Yan is on tonight. Our prediction is compiled from the analysis of the fighters and is an indication of who we are leaning with to win this bout.

Yan was dominated on the mat by Esparza. Esperza has better wrestling than Dern. DERN has a career takedown accuracy of just 9%. Yan should be able to pick Espradza apart on her feet.

Yan Xiaonan is betting on Dern vs Yan at DraftKings.

Dern is coming off a victory and Yan is fresh off her loss. Both were in close fights against highly-ranked opponents. Dern's striking is still pretty janky. Yan's footwork, quick entries and ability to move in and out when striking will make it very tough for DERN to get those takedowns.

Yan Xiaonan is the favorite to win the UFC Fight Night.
